MicroRNA breast cancer initiative

Obiettivo

Only within the last year have genomic approaches have been employed to compare the expression profiles of microRNA (miRNA) in normal and cancer cells. These profiles allow differentiation between non-tumour cell and tumour cell. Specific miRNAs are found to correlate with the stage of breast cancer. Moreover, some of these miRNAs regulate genes that control cancer cell proliferation and survival, providing a mechanistic understanding and showing the relevance of the correlative studies.

The proposal will allow recruitment of an miRNA expert to the National University of Ireland Galway to facilitate the identification breast cancer specific miRNAs, to test their links to cancer stage, drug sensitivity and prognosis. The expertise that this researcher brings will drive basic, clinical and translational research at NUI Galway with the aim of improving for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
